Victoria gold Sovereign 1861 MS66 NGC, KM736.1, S-3852D, Marsh-. RIA over RIA in VICTORIA. An extremely rare variety, rendered rarer still through its beauty and sublime level of preservation. One of just three examples certified by NGC, and the highest graded by far; the second highest is is an MS61, and the third an XF45. It is unusual to see any Victorian Sovereign as well-struck and highly certified as the present specimen, let alone one as rare as this! Aglow with mint brilliance, satiny cartwheel luster flowing across the lemon-apricot surfaces, Victoria's portrait and the reverse shield superbly struck-up and bold - a coin which has seen no circulation, remaining as bright and pristine as it was in 1861. Absolutely exceptional, a premium offering.
